Since when did our country start depending on the Feds for everything? Do people even know and understand the purpose and role of the government as outlined by the Constitution? Government is already too big! I saw a woman on TV the other day crying about "who's gonna pay my bills?" now that the hurricane came through! Is she serious? Who's going to pay her bills? Since when is it MY responsibility to pay someone else's bills? This is the problem with the Welfare state in America. Heck, we should just change our name to that: The Welfare States of America! I'm sorry peoples' homes got destroyed. I really am. No one wants to see their fellow Americans left homeless after something this terrible (except maybe proponents of Big Government). But shoveling mounds upon mounds of money into something like this makes little sense. The city is below sea-level. The levees are crap. The mayor doesn't give a damn. He even was recorded telling local community leaders that they were on their own if something should happen. The governor just wants to point fingers. And meanwhile, people are refusing to leave the town, looters are shooting at rescue helicopters, medical caravans are getting robbed, and all of this, (YES, ALL), could have been avoided. The hurricane almost hit last year and they were worried about the city flooding. It didn't happen, and people sat on their thumbs. People were given the opportunity to evacuate. Many stayed behind. The mayor didn't even bother worrying about people, as evidenced by the hundred or so buses left sitting in a parking lot. All that, to say this: Why is this then, the responsibility of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? When will people start taking responsibility for their own lives and own well-being and stop looking to others for help AND blame!?? It makes me sick!!!
